Fischhaus in Düsseldorf

Es war an der Zeit, unbedingt das FISCHHAUS aufzusuchen, das seit Anfang dieses Jahres unter neuer Leitung steht. Wir hatten die Gelegenheit, mit Pablo Fernandez Garcia, einem der beiden neuen Betreiber, über das Konzept von Tradition und Moderne zu sprechen. Es ist immer noch ein bodenständiges und sehr beliebtes Restaurant, in dem man sich nur wohl fühlen kann. Das Essen war absolut köstlich. Hier wird der Liebhaber von gut zubereiteten Meeresfrüchten und Fisch auf jeden Fall fündig. Ob "Baby Calamares vom Grill", "Austern Rockefeller", "Muscheltopf Fischhaus", "Muscheln Thai Art" oder "Scholle Finkenwerder Art" – wir haben alles sehr genossen. Und der Service war auch sehr professionell und äußerst freundlich, hier besonders Lukas und Ainhoa. Die Preise sind gehoben, dies speziell heute auf dem Sektor Fisch und Seafood, aber die Qualität stimmt. Wir hatten im "neuen" FISCHHAUS eine gute Zeit in netter Atmosphäre, und es war wirklich "ein leckeres Erlebnis". Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder!

Wir waren regelmäßig essen aber die letzte Zeit waren wir immer enttäuscht und werden nicht mehr hingehen. Schade Essen war sehr schlecht geworden

Wir hatten uns auf leckere Muscheln im Fischhaus gefreut. Es war wie immer sehr sehr gut besucht. Leider waren wir von der Qualität sehr enttäuscht. Die Muscheln Art der Hauses mit Knoblauch und Petersilie waren sehr verkocht und an den Rändern sehr hart. Es gab leider keine frische Petersilie und auch kleinen frischen Knoblauch. Alles nur aus der Dose. Die Suppe war nicht genießbar und auf dem Schwarzbrot war die Butter drauf gekratzt. Die Rheinischen Muscheln waren etwas besser aber auch zu verkocht. So eine schlechte Qualität hätte ich nicht im Fischhaus erwartet. Schade Das Dessert Apfelsorbet in Calvados zu 9.80€ war gut.

Sehr laut und eng, Kantinenflair, schlechtes Preis Leistungsverhältnis, keine gute Qualität, insbesondere beim Steinbutt, Touristenfalle in der Altstadt von Düsseldorf

Service: vorhanden Ambiente: wir haben draußen gegessen, an einem Tisch, der genauso 5 cm vom nächsten Tisch entfernt war. Man saß direkt mit am Nachbartisch. Plastiktischdecke!! Essen: schade um den Fisch, matschige Scholle Finkenwerder Art, Speck überhaupt nicht kross, fade und geschmacklos zubereitet. Absolut keine Empfehlung.

The restaurant offers excellent fish that is very tasty and perfectly prepared. The quality of the food is convincing across the board. Particularly noteworthy are the fair prices, which offer great value for money. The friendly and attentive service makes the visit even more pleasant. The restaurant is also clean and well-kept, which creates a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a clear recommendation for anyone who appreciates good food and a pleasant atmosphere!

Lunch for two. Starters and soups were very tasty, but not warm enough. Main courses, turbot and prawns were great! Fresh produce, tasty cooked and prepared. Always and happily for many years. I can recommend the Fischhaus in Düsseldorf with a clear conscience! GB

Wow, the besttttt seafood ever! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Disappointing! Went to the fish house because I thought there would be good mussels there. I had the “Thai version” but there was nothing Thai about it! Completely tasteless. There was no taste of coconut milk, ginger or coriander. It wasn't fresh coriander either! The mussels were also a bit sandy, which really shouldn't be the case. My husband had mussels "Rhenish style", but they were also quite tasteless...

Actually, the visit to the restaurant was okay, the service was friendly and good, the food was tasty and plentiful. A meal also arrived, mine only after my partner had already eaten hers. Classic ruin of my order. That day I was “deeply relaxed” as we sat outside in the sun for lunch and no longer had any appointments. So just a little deduction in the B grade. We would still like to come back.

Fish was cold and little side dish.

The lobster cream soup is highly recommended. The drinks prices do not correspond to a justified price-performance ratio.

We waited more than 50 minutes for our food because they 'lost' our order. When it arrived, it was raw for one of us and extremely salty in another dish. They offered us a coffee or an aperitif as an apology but at this stage this was simply not enough so we left the bill at that. Overall very loud atmosphere. Wouldn't recommend.

Bistro atmosphere. Great food. The fish soups are recommended. The staff always present with the best service. We love it! For years.

Excellent seafood, excellent service in quick time, and doesn't hurt the pocket too much either for a seafood restaurant! Delicious mixed grill, prawn caeser's salad, redfish, fried calamari, fried sardines and much more. Definitely worth a visit while in Düsseldorf.

Bright - professional - friendly: Fast and attentive service. Lots and lots of alert, nimble servers. Extensive menu - whether changing dishes or "classics". Generous portions with good value for money. Lively ambience.

The interior comes from the former Maaßen fish house, beautiful old style. The range and quality of the fish dishes on offer is excellent. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. If you like eating fish and shellfish, this is absolutely the right place for you.

One of the best seafood restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining in so far. We had oysters as a starter and a fantastic pike perch fillet on cabbage and beetroot puree. The desserts are not bad either. The service was quick and courteous.

Atmosphere 3 because the constant siege of street musicians and acrobats is now quite invasive and disruptive. The flow of conversation was constantly interrupted. The city of Düsseldorf should establish permanent artist spaces. Concession fees mediate instead of granting an uncoordinated circus rotation and constant sound throughout the entire old town.

Food was good. Service was great!!!

Mixed starter plate was announced with various seafood. What was on the plate were black, burnt squid rings with sprats. Nothing else. After my complaint new seafood was served. Another reason for complaint. The squid rings and the accompanying sprats were dry and inedible. The repeated complaints to the so-called “managing director” were dismissed with succinct personnel reasons. Because of my answer that I was not responsible for the personnel concerns that had been raised, the conversation was ended without comment. Based on this experience, there is a justified impression that not only the kitchen, but also the manners and demeanor of this "manager" are subterranean.

It was a commercial tourist seafood restaurant but there trout that I had was very good. I wouldn't considered that this place would be have a high end chef workings there.

A lovely evening with delicious fish, attentive staff and a very well-filled restaurant for a Tuesday.

Service is very bad. The price performance doesn't match what you get in the restaurant at all.

I have been visiting the Fischhaus (formerly Massen) for more than 50 years. The quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff and the rustic ambience often invite me to visit this restaurant. I think it's good that you are greeted at the entrance by the staff and offered a free seat. In the refrigerated counter you can sometimes admire swordfish or look at the oysters and crabs on offer. I can recommend the soups, which are served with a glass of white wine at lunchtime. See you soon!

We like this restaurant, the service is always friendly when we are here. The food is good quality with all sorts of things from the sea. It's always fun to dine here

Very bad food and totally overpriced! I was really annoyed!

We have been coming to the Fischhaus for years because they actually had the tastiest mussel dishes. This time we were very disappointed with the Thai style. Everything was simply missing. We also told the employee, who said they were still in the testing phase with the spices. A neighbor at the table had ordered Rhenish-style mussels and was also very disappointed.

We had dinner at the Fishhaus in Düsseldorf on June 30, 2023. We had very rude service, we also passed this on to the person in charge of the restaurant who did not think we were important because we were from Belgium. It says enough that only a year later they filed a complaint for defamation for this review. The restaurant had not assumed that we would write a negative review. We even have a photo that we came to eat with you and we would like to tell you what the point of criticism was. The restaurant would listen better to criticism and do something with it instead of trying to delete the bad Google reviews. If all negative reviews are removed, then the rating of this restaurant is incorrect.

The food was very tasty here. The waitresses are all very nice. This time we had a great wine accompaniment. The house wine comes from the in-house winery.

Vielleicht gut genug für Touristen

We were completely thrilled the first time and invited friends over yesterday and couldn't explain the quality and portions. Little for a lot of money, the dish with two shrimps clearly had too little fish and not by accident, as we were told, but there were 2 dishes with 2 shrimps each. We would have been happy to forego the espresso that was provided. The mussels were almost cold and every other one was still closed, so back to the kitchen. Now I have found out about the change in ownership...only the attentive staff deserves 1 star.

We have been visiting this restaurant regularly for 20 years and were disappointed for the first time. Austen had strange tastes. The prices are greatly inflated.

There is a very, very tasty fish soup here! Whenever we are in Düsseldorf we visit the Fischhaus. It's probably very cramped, but we're happy to accept that!😘

Very tasty food and reasonable prices! The menu is really creative and the service is also really friendly.

I love this place. I love the fish soups and the authentic restaurant. The service is always very friendly and attentive - even during trade fairs and other busy times it works here. The fish dishes are sometimes a bit carelessly prepared... in my opinion there is room for improvement for the perfect restaurant experience. Still 5 stars.

It's a unique beer that I don't like, but the atmosphere is great. If you don't put the coaster on the cup after drinking, you'll be in danger. I might go again if I'm invited.

Das Beste Restaurant zum Fisch essen! Es war einfach köstlich. Empfehlenswert 💯%.

Very tasty fish soup and the fish dishes also looked very good. You can tell that the new owners have brought a noticeable breath of fresh air. We will definitely come back here more often.

Great food, fish soup is highly recommended

The restaurant is known for fresh fish and seafood specialties in a maritime atmosphere. The popular fish platter offers a carefully prepared selection of fish with matching side dishes.

A great spot for excellent fish and seafood… salt crusted fish platter perfectly cooked.. Highly recommended.

For a while the fish house had declined a bit, but is now definitely recommended again.

Professional friendly service. Plaice Finkenwerder type top For me, grilled redfish is better with NO greasy breading

The fish and oysters are very tasty, the cleanliness and service outside can be improved.

It has good and delicious food, but the service is a bit poor

A very positive experience, the dinner was really worth it. The friendly welcome was great. After we sat down, bread was brought straight away, which was very tasty and apparently homemade. The waiter, Marvin, asked two quick questions to select the perfect wine for my wife. In general, it was Marvin who made our evening better. Always attentive, and his broad, friendly smile was not artificial, but came out naturally, which showed that he enjoyed his job. We will come back just to be served by him again. I had never seen the scallops on spinach like this before, but they tasted very good. The seafood platter was very good in terms of taste and also in terms of price. Personally, I would prefer to serve three smaller sea snails instead of two large ones. They taste better. The plaice “Finkenwerder Art” was a poem in terms of taste. A good portion and completely appropriate for the price. Plus the fried potatoes, which were masterfully prepared for me. And the salad was tasty too. I was rather disappointed with the dessert. As a lover of the “Dame Blanche” (White Lady), I was rather annoyed. Two small scoops of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream, but a large pot of hot chocolate is not what you imagine when you think of Dame Blanche. Whoever put this together should be banned from Dame Blanche for life. A real Dame Blanche consists of three large vanilla ice cream balls lined up next to each other with a strip of whipped cream parallel to the balls. Add a small pot of hot chocolate, just enough to pour over the ice cream balls and to draw a few drops or thin strokes over the cream! But all in all it was a nice dinner we had, thanks also to the friendly and smiling waiter Marvin. We'll definitely be back. In terms of price, the restaurant is in the upper middle class, but the price-performance ratio is completely ok.

Unfortunately, I hoped for more from the restaurant. The food was okay, but the service was a disaster. The waiter who took our order was completely arrogant and unsympathetic and I would even call him cheeky and snippy. I would also like to describe this waiter, he had blonde hair, blue eyes and an earring. Maybe you'll read that and take it to heart.

Excellent service and amazing food 👌

Delicious fresh fish, well prepared with tasty side dishes. The staff is also super friendly and helpful.

Great restaurant, great food, very attentive service, great value for money! Must visit 👍👍👍

There were three of us and we were immediately assigned a table. The food and the staff were TOP! Whether you're a tourist or a local, you can have a good time here. Thanks

Fantastisches Fischspezialitäten Restaurant im Herzen Düsseldorfs! Grandioses Essen, toller Gastgeber und sehr aufmerksamer Service! Preisleistung passt 👍. Sehr zum empfehlen die warme gemischte Vorspeise mit Garnelen, Tintenfisch, Muscheln, etc. Zur Hauptspeise muss man unbedingt die Seezunge mit Blattspinat probieren, diese ist phänomenal! Lange nicht mehr so gut gegessen.

I have it myself. Expected more, it was ok considering the food. However, if I wanted to invite someone, I wouldn't go there because the service, at least one of the staff members, was very unsympathetic and not service-oriented. When asked what kind of fish variations a fish plate has, he just rolled his eyes. We were also seated at a table that had not been newly set and that had not been newly set for us.

A delicious fish restaurant in the heart of the Altstadt. Beautiful lobster and a mixed grill of fish. First Jacob's shells on a bed of spinach and cheese. A truly wonderful meal. The wine was also excellent and the service 1st class. The general atmosphere in the restaurant is cheerful and inviting. Great tent and highly recommended.

We ate the baked calamari as a starter, but unfortunately they were too wobbly. There was also bread and a dip (extremely tasty). The main course was very, very tasty (fried pollock fillet) and I can recommend it.

I've been a guest here for years and it's still delicious

Great seafood restaurant. Oyster crab everything 1a. There are also honest, not too high-quality white and rose wines. Something like that is missing in Berlin's price range.

Only ate bouillabaisse at an enormously high price, for a small soup with little fish🙈

Plaice, champagne and ambience, nothing more is possible.

The food is really good - value for money in Düsseldorf Old Town! However, it's sad that with a bill of 300.00 euros (2 people) you aren't even offered an espresso.

Super good food, very friendly staff and the prices are reasonable!

Unfortunately, we also had this experience in Germany. Our order arrived incomplete. The fish came with 2 sprigs of parsley?!... and a piece of lemon. We asked for the salad. I think the tomato in the salad was taken from another plate, and I'm not exaggerating, there was only one piece of salad. Believe me, the quality of the green sauce was below average, I have never experienced such a disappointment in my life.

The food was ok but nothing more. What was disturbing was the service. One of the wine glasses was was not tasting well - almost like it was soap left in the glass’s we complained but the waiter and the manager was not willing to refund the wine glass even we ordered full meal and starter.

I did not like the food nor the service. Sea bass was not cleaned properly. Dover sole was undercooked and at best mediocre. I don’t plan on going back.

We didn’t like the food. Dover sole was undercooked & bad. Sea bass was not cleaned properly. Tiramisu was very bad, it is apparent on the photo I took. I came here during the yacht show 2 years ago and I was very happy but now it felt like a 1 star restaurant for sure. The establishment needs put itself in order. It hurt to pay this much for a bad experience.

Unfortunately we didn't have a good day. For starters we had soups, unfortunately too salty for us. For the main course, the sea bream was also too salty and the seafood platter was unfortunately not really fresh either - a shame!

Please do not go to that restaurant.Prices are to high for what you get the quality of the food is mediocre and the waiters are not well trained in customer service.

Very good fish restaurants in the heart of Düsseldorf's old town. Many daily recommendations, fresh whole fish according to the daily price. Reservation recommended. Everything from fried fish to zander is recommended

Best restaurant in Düsseldorf‘ Old Town

The food is excellent.☆☆☆☆☆ I can't criticize anything about that. Even the fries are incredibly good. The service is friendly and quick. That was my first visit and certainly not my last. So far I can only give positive feedback.

Very crowded that you don't get any service, orders coming different.. taste is normal. It's not great Value at all

We were here for dinner. All around great experience - attentive friendly service, great value for money, delicious food and a great atmosphere!

The quality in this restaurant is catastrophic. Lobster soup that tastes horrible, horrible wines and fish drowned in cheap fat. On top of that, the whole thing doesn’t seem fresh… A bitter disappointment!

Ordered seafood spaghetti, fish soup, oyster shot and grilled squid salad. The spaghetti was on the salty side which made us thankful we ordered the salad to neutralize.. Fish soup was so rich but also salty. The grilled squid salad was good but costed 19.5 euro. Overall this is most we spent for a meal in our whole trip and it is definitely not one of our favorite ones. The ambiance and service was good though.

We visited this restaurant, unfortunetly we didn’t actually get to taste the food, because we had to wait for over 20 minutes for a waiter to come to our table to order atleast some drinks, after that when I asked one of the waiters if we can order he blinked at me with his eye and went away. I can’t really recommend this kind of rudeness, it never happened to me before.

We came with a group, but they gave us a cheaper fish, contrary to what they said. Instead of cod they gave us sea bass and it was not tasty at all. The calamari was delicious.

Variety of mouthwatering oysters. Fish portions were excellent as well. We were a group of eight and everybody was more than satisfied. Great wine selection, too. Decent price level with truly attentive and professional service. Highly recommended.

Very good food, prices are reasonable considering the quality. Very good service.

Sour was very salty, not tasty food and service is very poor

Historic very popular restaurant in Dusseldorf! Fresh food!!

The attitude towards customers leaves much to be desired. I don't recommend it.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unterirdisch. Man fühlt sich als Kantinengast, nicht als Gast in einem Fischrestaurant. Aber wenn man an so einem Touristen HotSpot essen geht, ist man selber schuld. Uns sicher eine Lehre…

To this day it has been our regular restaurant in Düsseldorf to eat delicious salmon trout fillet. However, this time we were disappointed. Apart from the fact that the price has now risen to €21.50, the quality is unfortunately in great need of revision. You could almost count the fried potatoes on one hand and they had definitely been in the pan or wherever for some time. It's a shame, I think that was the last time we visited the restaurant.

Extremely poor service attitude. When I entered the store before 21:00, the first thing the waiter said was "We are closing soon". As soon as he sat down, he asked what dishes to order. Google closed at 23:00, and at 21:10 he had already started to clear away customers. , with a nonchalant look on his face, I won’t come again

Pretty good food, pretty good wine. Perfect 👍🏽

Great restaurant for all fish lovers. Freshly caught fish prepared in all forms. Fast and friendly service 👌very very tasty😋😋😋

This place came recommended but honestly I can’t see why . Food was basic, service terrible and d the atmosphere ( outside) noisy and cramped. Honestly you could do better.

I expect more from a fish restaurant. The salmon trout was just okay. The broccoli was fine more than the fried potatoes. The waiter's friendliness was limited.

What a great find of a restaurant. Its so nice to get a seafood break from all the meat to be eaten whilst in Dusseldorf. So much so that I ate here twice in one week. Great seafood selection and nice with the market style fresh seafood shown

Disappointed with the food It use to be a good restaurant in the past but not anymore

Excellent food , good ambiance strongly recommend for sea food lovers

Keep your hands off the edible crabs!!!! The taste was okay, but it's the second time I've eaten it and then spent the night puking on the toilet. Since it had been a while since the first time, I had forgotten about it until a friend asked me why I even ate it again since I had already done so recently. Only then did the memory come back. Probably stored incorrectly or long dead by the time you made it. Never again. To eat good crab you probably have to get out of Germany, I'll definitely give it up!!!

Good ambience, but not professional service. I did not meet all the waiters but all I met was rude and attitudy. The prices are also expensive. Better not even not to try it.

Terrible service, zero respect, cause, they respond very badly when there is a lot of work, both the waiters and the manager on duty We left because as we had booked then they tell you you have to wait outside then they let certain people in first and as it were we didn't call the day before No, I'm not going there anymore We were very disappointed I also came often with my clients I'm sorry to put 1 star and now I ask my fellow customers to comment

Very tasty and of good quality, the waiters have to be on top of them...

A very good fish restaurant with consistently high quality for years.

Everthing changed here. Food is bot good as previous. We had very salty soup couldnt eat and told the waitress he didnt do anything and grill fish was very dry and salata without souce asked for lemon even thet didnt bring.we waited a lot for service also. It was my favoute place evertine when i come to Düsseldorf but i think ill not go again.

On a bustling Saturday night, obtaining a table was surprisingly swift and seamless, thanks to the recommendation of a discerning German friend. Anticipating a German-inspired take on seafood cuisine, my experience, unfortunately, was riddled with disappointments. The seafood soup, marred by excessive saltiness, suffered from issues of fish freshness, compounded by the unwelcome discovery of fish bones, further exacerbated by the overpowering salt seasoning. The octopus salad, while palatable, revealed a lack of finesse in preparation; the inconsistency in the octopus cuts disrupted the enjoyment of a uniform bite. However, the seasoning, featuring olive oil and lemon, was exceptional, somewhat compensating for the other deficiencies. Upon inquiring about their premier grilled fish, the waiter recommended the mixed grill with great assurance. Regrettably, this proved to be a letdown as the fish arrived stir-fried rather than grilled, drenched in oil, and comprising disappointingly thin fillets that lacked substantiality. The accompanying potatoes were equally subpar, devoid of proper seasoning and rendered soggy from substandard stir-frying. This establishment does not meet the expectations of those who appreciate a truly refined seafood experience. Despite the amiable and prompt service, there were lapses, with both myself and other patrons needing to address missing components of our orders.

Poor quality food with terrible service at a high price. Avoid it.
